  Definitly one of the best 2-Player games and we played it to death. Smooth scrolling and great pace. Love it. And it uses all hardware features. there not many 2 player games on A8 which we played. I guess same fun we had with International Karate and later on Atari ST Speed Ball 2.

  This is one of my all time favourite A8 games. really excellent with two players. We played this game to death back when it was released. Highly recommended.

  Castle Schrechenstein. This should be famous.The "twirly-demon" to get strength back ,we would shout to eachother, ah now this is with Bill Willians + Russ Wetmore standards. Even the 2 Lucasfilm titles Eidolon and Koronis Rift would say we will let you become a classic like us. Enjoy the coins and be enchanted by the wishing wells.

  This is with no question the best and most addictive two player jump'n'run game I ever played. This was the first game I ever had on my Atari (next to Elektraglide) and I am soooo happy that my parents found this piece of gold. If this game would have been released as a more international title it could have been easily THE game of the games on the 8bit. But so it's almost unkown outside of Germany, what a pitty!!!!
